Duplicating pay accounts by officers oi the army has become of alarming ire quency of late, and the guilty parties have been finding no mercy al the hands of either courts martial or the president. The latest victim was Lieutenant James H. Wilcox, of the Seventh cavalry. The president was appealed to for clemcncy in his case, but the appeal was m vain. He approved the sentence of the court, but made no remarks on the case. The sentence was dismissal and close con fnement for two years m penitentiary to be designated by the president.

The government IS accommodating som

The government is accumulating some $Io, 900 per month in the treasury more than il pays out As all the re- deemable bonds have been taken up, some way should be provided for the return of this into circulation. Eastern inanciers recommend as a means of do-
 ing this that liberal premium should be offered on bonds not yet mature. In a
 recent circular issued, figures are given
 whereby saving of several million dol
 lars can be made by purchasing them at
 premium even two or three cents
 higher than they are quoted at in the
 market Some means should be adopted
 for the return of this vast amour. of
 money to the people. A good and judi cious way of doing this to limited ex- tent would be for the government to make appropriations for public build ings, artesian wells and other public ne- cessities in the differen, territories. IL is a disgrace to a country as wealthy as ours that her territories should be neg lccted in the manner in which they have been. If the government would divide even one months surplus among the diff fereni territories i, would give round million to each and would be of grea, benefi, 10 them and would not be missed from the big vaults at Washington.

after patting the dirt well with its paws

When coming home at night.

While still you're far from sight!
Does the soul outrun the body, dear,
That an echoing football feet
Strikes on an inner listening ear
Before your own greeSi
Thy loving smile lights up the space
OF twilight darkening down;
Ifeel warm kisses on my face,
While still sit alone.
Hasten 70 one whose happy fate
Is in thy care to dwell;
Hasten where Love and Duty wait
Their greeting sweet to tell.
A manly step-quick, firm and light
Rings out above the rest.
